 there's a few issues: firstly, anyone who stands up to them is
automatically targetted.  secondly: the people who set themselves up
as admins completely ignore the rule "assume good intent of editors".
and thirdly, they have a *really* serious problem in the form of one
of the long-standing contributors, JZGuy or someone, whose behaviour
is so unbelievably outrageous and hypocritical that it's actually
caught the attention of someone who is documenting it in the form of a
book.  absolutely nobody dares criticise him as they don't want to end
up being the target of revenge that they *know* he will enact, as
they've witnessed him doing it multiple times over the years.

 if you're interested to do so, take a look here
http://libre-riscv.org/charter/ - and "apply" that to wikipedia.
you'll see that there are multiple systemic law violations.  jean's
censorship (even after the apology) is a clear violation of at least
three systemic laws.
